nf ex-Sheriff H. T. McClallen disclosed one
small error for the sum of $17. SO. that
amount being promptly tendered by Mr.
iMcClallen. who is confident of recovering
the amount when he finds the lost paper
which represents tlie sum.
The books of ex-County Clerk Z. X.
Agge were found to be short In the sum
of $512. $412 of which represents fees col
lected from various - departments, while
the $100 represents a single fine. Mr. Agge
is traveling at present, but no one doubts
he will be able to account for the sum
in a manner satisfactory to all upon his
return. The poor system of bookkeeping
In vogue Is thougnt to be the reason for
the shortage.

his marriage ceremony nooaoo ami
Incidentally his record for the largest
number of ceremonies performed in one
year. Last year he married exactly 23
couples, officiating at mor.e weddings

stood as his record.
This year he officiated at his twenty

No couples appeared to be married since

PUBLIC IS DECEIVED
Land Opening at Roseburg
Only Small Affair.
RECEIVER LAWRENCE TALKS
Says Deceptive Advertisements Were
Sent Broadcast by Roseburg
Firms Land Is in Small Par
cels and of Little Value.
KOSBBITRG, Or., Dec. 11. (Special. )
It has Just come to the notice of the
local land office in this city that a
great deal of misrepresentation is being
indulged In by parties In tnis city wno
would benefit thereby in reference to the
restoration to entry of a part of the
Umpn.ua forest reserve.
The facts in the matter are: On March
2, 1907. the Government withdrew from
the public domain with other lands 92.000
acres of land and established them in the
Umpq.ua forest reserve- on tnese w,vw
acres were many settlers, and much land
had been taken under the timber, land
laws, practically all of the valuable land.
About two months ago the Government
decided to restore to entry the unsettled
and unappropriated tracts remaining in
the. 92,000 acres, and a notice to that
effect was published. The land thus
thrown open is therefore not the entire
92.0o0 acres, but that land which was un
appropriated prior to March 2, 1907, when
the lands were taken into the reserve,
which, according to the local land office,

Advertisements have appeared in local
papers and In papers throughout this

two local abstract companies in this city,
stating that 92,000 acres of valuable fruit,
farming, and dairy land were to be
thrown open to eny:y in this city on Jan

Two statements were made by the girl
since she was taken to the hospital and
these were transcribed. One was made
about two weeks ago and the last one
